Feeling like she was being made a joke, Yu's mother grew increasingly angry. She threw down the flowers in her hand and glared angrily at Ye Weiwei: "Ellie! Don't be ungrateful!"
Ye Weiwei looked at Madam Yu with a half-smile: "Madam Yu, let's stop here. I'm sitting here today not because I acknowledge that you are of higher status than me, but because I don't want to put Young Master Yu in a difficult position."
Only incompetent and insecure people use their status to assert their existence all day long. Your ostentatious display today is nothing more than a deliberate attempt to show off in front of me. But in my eyes, flower arranging is just a small pleasure in life; there's no need to make such a grand spectacle of it.
When her thoughts were exposed in public, Yu's mother stopped trying to hide them and looked coldly at Ye Weiwei: "It's just a little bit of fun in life? But someone like you doesn't even have this little bit of fun in life! What you see as a little bit of fun in life represents elegance and nobility in the eyes of people like us."
After all, only families with our background and cultural heritage can afford to live this kind of life and enjoy these kinds of pastimes. The difference in social class is something an ordinary person like you can't understand, and naturally, you can't appreciate it.
After saying that, she looked at Ye Weiwei with disdain: "Why would I talk to someone like you? It's like casting pearls before swine!"
Ye Weiwei scoffed: "Does knowing how to arrange flowers make you elegant and noble? Does it make you feel superior and give you such a great sense of superiority?"
Mother Yu sneered: "I already told you, you have no idea what this kind of fun is!"
Ye Weiwei found the smile on Yu's mother's face extremely irritating. She still couldn't control her restless feet, got up and went over to take the scissors from the maid's hand. Then she quickly picked and trimmed the flowers on the table and put them into the vase one by one.
Ye Weiwei finished arranging the flowers in less than five minutes.
The buildings are arranged in a staggered and orderly manner, elegant yet lively, exuding vitality and fragrance.
Yu's mother stared in shock at Ye Weiwei's work, unable to believe it was created by her. "How could this be... how could you..."
Her flower arranging skills are miles ahead of hers.
In that instant, Yu's mother felt a burning sensation on her face, as if she had been slapped hard several times.
Ye Weiwei put down the scissors, glanced at the flowers in the vase, and said, "Flower arranging is nothing more than a way to cultivate one's character and bring joy. Even without such a grand display and expensive flowers, wildflowers from the roadside can achieve the same purpose. But you've missed the point. We have different interests, so I won't stay here and get in the way."
After saying that, Ye Weiwei went back to her room.
The living room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The servants dared not breathe loudly, watching Madam Yu staring blankly at the vase, for fear of running into her.
Yu's mother originally wanted to give Ye Weiwei a hard time and make her realize the gap between her and their family, but who knew that Ye Weiwei would turn the tables on her and make her the clown in the end.
Always strong-willed and flattered by everyone, Yu's mother had never been treated like this before. After regaining her senses, she was so angry that she ordered the maid to throw away all the flowers and vases that Ye Weiwei had arranged. She even threw away the remaining flowers on the table as if Ye Weiwei had tainted them!
"This is absolutely outrageous!"
Yu's mother was so angry that her heart ached. She never expected that Ye Weiwei, this down-on-her-luck girl, would actually know how to do flower arranging!
This woman was indeed up to no good. When she first said she wanted to do flower arranging, she deliberately didn't say she knew how, making me look like a clown in front of her, and then she turned around and humiliated me severely!
That vixen, she underestimated this woman!
snort!
Don't think you can just walk into the Yu family's house like that!
Ye Weiwei never expected that instead of reflecting on her own actions, Yu's mother would blame her even more. If she had known, she would have silently offered a prayer for Yu's mother.
Because neither she nor Ellie herself are people whose personalities can be easily manipulated.
Ellie was able to endure her uncle's family's mistreatment abroad for many years, and after escaping the clutches of evil as an adult, she made a name for herself and earned the trust of the Yu family's eldest son and his father. How could she really be a pushover?
Yu's mother's tricks won't get her any favors; she'll only make a fool of herself.
However, since the flower arrangement incident, Yu's mother has been quiet these past few days. She has stopped finding fault with Ye Weiwei in front of her and has stopped interfering when Ye Weiwei and Qin Xiao go out every day.
However, every night when she went to sleep, she would keep a close eye on Qin Xiao's bedroom door, as if she were guarding it closely to prevent Ye Weiwei, that little vixen, from draining her son's yang energy. This made it so that Qin Xiao could only climb out the window if he wanted to sleep with Ye Weiwei, which was quite speechless.
Ye Weiwei and Qin Xiao have been going out frequently these past two days, exploring almost the entire Hong Kong city.
They claimed to be looking for a location for a new factory, but in reality, the two were getting familiar with the port city, vacationing, and gathering intelligence at the same time—they did quite a lot.
During this time, they did not forget to send messages back to the inland areas.
However, the item in lot number eight was too important, and the two decided to take it back and hand it over in person.
After all, no matter what channel it is, it can't compare to the security of Ye Weiwei's space.
The higher-ups, knowing they had taken down the Green Dragon Gang, greatly praised their actions. Hearing that their next plan was to retaliate against Smith, Elder Long ordered them to extract as much useful information as possible from Smith.
Smith is a major culprit targeting China from abroad. Eliminating him will also make those foreign powers that are eyeing China more cautious.
After receiving their orders, Qin Xiao and Ye Weiwei disguised themselves and followed Smith several times, basically figuring out Smith's schedule.
After discussing it, the two decided to lure the snake out of its hole.
Using Zuo Chenglong's identity, he passed a message to Smith and arranged to meet him.
Whether Smith was overconfident or certain that Zuo Chenglong wouldn't harm him, he only brought four bodyguards to the appointment.
Ye Weiwei and Qin Xiao dealt with Smith's bodyguards with almost no effort and captured Smith alive.
Blindfold Smith with a black cloth, Ye Weiwei and Qin Xiao led him around for a long time before finally bringing him into an empty house in the Space Villa.
It took Qin Xiao almost a whole day, with Ye Weiwei providing occasional mental support and interference, before he finally managed to extract some information from Smith.
The collaboration with the Yu family was a trap. Smith had great ambitions and was eyeing the Yu family as a piece of fat meat. He wanted to squeeze the Yu family dry and make them disappear from Hong Kong's high society so that they wouldn't become obedient lackeys like the Green Dragon Gang.
Although he knew all along that Smith had ill intentions and was there to cause trouble, after learning the details of Smith's plan, Mr. Yu was still so angry that he wanted to tear Smith to pieces!
